The most interesting thing about a scorpion is the sting in its curving tail. Without that deadly stinger, it would be a fairly innocuous little creature.
It’s very interesting to see how the scorpion’s sting is represented in various scorpion tattoos. Some tattoos for example, incorporate what appears to be a small exploding bomb at the end of the scorpion’s tail. Others concentrate on depicting the needle-sharpness of the scorpion’s stinger.
Like a curled fist, the partially coiled scorpion image seems to indicate that its wearer is a fighter, someone to be reckoned with, someone not to cross. The arms, shoulders and the back are the most popular spots for a large scorpion tattoo.
